Our website www.turbocupones.com dropped drastically in ranking today. I have no idea why this happened as we have not outsourced any SEO and sticked to google´s guidelines. Can you please check the web and give me Ideas why this happened? Our traffic dropped by 1000%. All our content is unique. I have years of experience in SEO and never had a problem like this. The rankings dropped drastically for everything. As said all SEO done is white hat.
Thanks!

Alright,
I believe The site-wide footer links are the problem. Despite being only 4 sites linking to us, they generate thousands of links...
My question now will be how to proceed? I never received such a big penalty for literally 4 dammed image footer links.Should I start from a new domain ? Ask the webmasters to delete those links or no follow them ? use disavow tool?
How much time should I spect for a recovery ?
Thanks!

There are site-wide footer links too.
-
you have inbound links from only 18 different domains yet you have thousands of links. This is alarming. I'm not sure how you can rank well with such tactics in the first place.
How long had you been ranking well before this happened?
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have the word "cupones" in your domain which is Spanish for "coupons" (I imagine, no good at Spanish, just going on assumptions!) so could it be that because your domain is not a geoTLD, Google may not realise that your main keyword is actually not in English?
This isn't factual, this is just suggestive, but maybe try using a .es domain name?

Hi,
It could be a temporary issue, a result of some flux in search results. You may also want to look at
a) any recent developments that you may have done on your website --- in case they have inadvertently resulted in a some problems
b) look in more detail into analytics to see if you can detect some patterns and your Webmaster Tools account for issues with crawling/indexing or links.
In any case, unless you spot some very obvious error, it may be worthwhile to watch over the next few days before taking any 'remedial' actions.

If everything you do is white hat and you have good original content, I wouldn't worry about it YET. Google is constantly messing around and testing. Wait a day or two and see if the problem resolves itself. I had a highly profitable keyword plummet from 1 to 50 in a day and the next day it was back to 1. These things happen.

Why is my website not ranking for it's brand name in SERPs but has been indexed by Google?
The website https://christchurch.crowneplaza.com has been live for a couple of months but is not being found in Google search results - even when searching for it's own brand name 'crowne plaza christchurch.' Google has indexed the site - but we are still not showing - https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fchristchurch.crowneplaza.com&rlz=1C1NHXL_enNZ735NZ735&oq=site%3A&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i58j69i59l2j69i65.896j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Any ideas as to why? I think it may be because their are two versions of the site, http and https, both with their own rel=canonical tags. Could this be the cause? Any help much appreciated.

Disavow both www. and non www. version of site?
I just submitted my disavow file to Google after several months of work. A few months ago a saw a partial match unnatural link penalty in the www. version of my site's Search Console account. The penalty has since expired. Should I also upload the file to the non www. side of the Search Console account? No penalty ever appeared there.

Local SEO (Rankings) + UK-wide SEO (national rankings) - achieving both
Hi All, For clients wishing to sell online / generate leads nationally, yet still want to have a local online presence to attract town / county-wide customers, I've often placed Town / County locations within both the Title Tag (or just County if space is limited) and Meta Description, plus within the Hx headings, Alt-text and within the footer of every page. My question is, does adding the location of the client within these fields really infringe their attempts to rank nationally, as some nationally ranked pages have no mention of location while others have their location (Town, County or Both) shown within them? Any help, insight or feedback greatly appreciated 🙂 Happy New Year Tony

Redirecting www.example.com to www.example.com/directory/
Hi All, There's been some internal debate going back and forth about redirecting the homepage of a site to a directory. There are a few different POVs circulating, one of which is that it's no different than redirecting to a /index page. Basically, the homepage is ranking for the keyword that we want the directory to rank for but I can't seem to justify placing this type of redirect. The content on both pages is different, but for the term both the homepage and the directory make sense to rank. Has anyone ever done anything like this before? Can anyone see any reason to do something like this? I believe this move would dilute the link value we currently have going to the homepage and potentially cause us to lose our #2 slot with the homepage in favor of a lower spot with the directory. I'd love to hear any thoughts on this/learn if anyone has experimented with this tactic. Thanks in advance!
